Ye Zhiwei felt heavy-hearted. "What do we do now? Dad seems angry because of Tang Ke's matter. If he finds out that he knew I moved out to live with you, then things will definitely get serious."
Ye Zhiwei was flustered, looking like the sky was about to fall.
Jiang Jianian didn't answer Ye Zhiwei's question, but instead looked at the cake and asked, "Aren't you going to eat the cake?"
Ye Zhiwei immediately said, "Of course I have to eat. Although the situation is urgent, I have to finish my afternoon tea first."
Let me calm down after afternoon tea.
Jiang Jianian smiled, moved the plate closer to himself, took a fork from the plate, scooped out a bite of mousse cake, and fed it to Ye Zhiwei. Ye Zhiwei didn't think much of it and ate the cake.
The mousse cake was mango flavored and topped with fresh mango. Even the cream and jam on top of the mousse cake were made fresh by Jiang Jianian. The atmosphere in the afternoon had been very pleasant, and Ye Zhiwei had been waiting since she learned that Jiang Jianian was going to make her an afternoon tea with mousse cake. Sometimes she would even watch from next to Jiang Jianian.
It wasn't until Jiang Jianian finished making the art-like cake, cut it into pieces, and gave it to Ye Zhiwei that the story unfolded.
Ye Zhiwei was happily eating her mousse cake when she learned the devastating news of Ji Shuli's departure.
However, compared to Ye Zhiwei's panic, Jiang Jianian was very calm. He not only fed Ye Zhiwei the cake bite by bite slowly, but also patted Ye Zhiwei's hair and said, "Good girl," after she finished eating the cake.
After finishing the cake, Ye Zhiwei returned to her anxious state, "What do we do now?"
"Find someone to clean the room first."
"Clean up the room?" Ye Zhiwei was shocked. "No, if you really let Dad move in, he'll be angry about this. He'll definitely be angry."
Jiang Jianian said calmly, "From the moment I started pursuing his daughter, I never expected him to give me a kind look."
Ye Zhiwei: Jiang Jianian's confessions come out of nowhere now. He reminds Ye Zhiwei several times a day, 24 hours a day, that he is pursuing her, and yet the things he says are so... irrefutable.
"But you could leave a message to politely decline your father's move-in offer," Ye Zhiwei suggested.
Jiang Jianian gave Ye Zhiwei a deep look and said meaningfully, "I don't want to offend your father yet."
"So you're planning to let Dad know that we're living together?" Ye Zhiwei asked in surprise. "Wouldn't that offend him even more? No, absolutely not. If he finds out, not only will he hold you responsible, but Ji Shuli and I will also be held accountable."
Jiang Jianian didn't say much, but after giving Ye Zhiwei a deep look, he said, "I'll have someone come and clean up first."
"What? You're giving in so quickly? Do you think you can please Dad by preparing a room for him to stay in? If he finds out you're pursuing me and that I'm living with you, he'll break your legs, you believe me!" Ye Zhiwei threatened Jiang Jianian's back.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jianian remained unmoved and went to the balcony.
Completely ignoring Ye Zhiwei, Jiang Jianian was already calling a housekeeping company from the balcony, asking them to send someone over to clean the room as soon as possible, leaving Ye Zhiwei anxiously waiting.
Ye Zhiwei was truly shocked: Why was Jiang Jianian also pursuing him? Ye Qingcheng was arriving soon, and he could calmly prepare a room for him? No, how could he be so calm? He was far too calm. He should at least find a way to prevent Ye Qingcheng from knowing that the two of them were staying together. It shouldn't be her who was frantically trying to keep quiet.
Jiang Jianian didn't seem to understand that Ye Qingcheng, knowing the seriousness of the two of them living together, still had the leisure to start preparing a room. On the contrary, Ye Zhiwei came up with a solution herself.
Ji Shuli told Ye Zhiwei that Ye Qingcheng would arrive in about three hours.
Ye Zhiwei then asked the housekeeper who was cleaning her room to clean it up as well, pack it into suitcases, and stuff them all into the back seat of the car.
Ye Qingcheng might be unhappy that she had moved out of the dormitory and was living with Jiang Jianian without telling him, so Ye Zhiwei pretended that she had just moved out of the dormitory when Ye Qingcheng came over today.
Not only that, she also very thoughtfully offered to pick Ye Qingcheng up after he got off the highway, which was quite deliberate, as if she was afraid that Ye Qingcheng would not know that she had a suitcase in the back seat of her car.
Ye Zhiwei was going to pick up Ye Qingcheng after he got off the highway, and showed Jiang Jianian all the luggage she had packed in the back seat. She said with a hint of pride, "This will make perfect sense. Dad will definitely ask about the kidnapping. I'll play the victim and then casually mention that I'm not staying at the hotel. This way, everything will fall into place."
After speaking, Ye Zhiwei looked at Jiang Jianian as if seeking praise and asked, "What do you think?"
She inquired about Jiang Jianian's opinion, but her words were all seeking praise. Her eyes were pleading, waiting for Jiang Jianian to compliment her on her clever idea.
Little did he know that Jiang Jianian's thoughts were all on Ye Zhiwei's slightly disheveled hair. He smoothed out Ye Zhiwei's hair, then helped her tuck it behind her ear, and finally said in a tone that was clearly coaxing Ye Zhiwei, "Whatever makes you happy."
Ye Zhiwei: ...
Jiang Jianian didn't say anything more. Ye Zhiwei acted according to plan. She didn't allow Jiang Jianian to go with her and had someone drive to the highway exit to wait for Ye Qingcheng.
Yenching University is in the next city. From home, you can get on the highway after crossing an overpass and drive fast. It takes less than two hours to get there.
Ji Shuli was worried that her younger cousin was unreliable, so she decided to accompany her if anything happened to her.
As soon as I got off the highway, I saw my younger cousin having her driver wait for her at the lane entrance.
Ye Qingcheng clearly had a car that could have driven directly to Jiang Jianian's villa, but because Ye Zhiwei intercepted him, he had to get out of the car again and sit with Ye Zhiwei.
Ye Qingcheng told the driver to continue driving to the address. After arriving, he handed the luggage to Jiang Jianian and then joined Ye Zhiwei in their antics.
Ye Zhiwei said ingratiatingly, "Dad, why did you come all of a sudden? You didn't even tell me beforehand. If you had told me in advance, I would have looked into what good restaurants, hotels, and fun places there were nearby, and I would have taken you to have a good time these past few days. Since you came so suddenly, I didn't prepare anything, so I just came all the way here to pick you up."
"I don't need any fancy food or fun activities, I just came to see you." Ye Qingcheng saw Ye Zhiwei waiting at the highway exit and didn't know whether to be angry or amused. He said helplessly, "What kind of crazy idea is this little girl of yours? You came to pick me up at the highway exit, and I had to stop my car and get out to go from one car to another? I think you didn't come to pick me up, you just wanted to mess with me."
Ji Shuli couldn't help but laugh from the side, but after being glared at by Ye Zhiwei, she stopped laughing and whispered in Ye Zhiwei's ear, "Little cousin, what kind of bad idea are you up to this time?"
What a terrible idea! It's clearly a great idea!
Seeing Ye Qingcheng sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Zhiwei didn't dare to argue directly with Ji Shuli. Instead, she took out her phone and texted Ji Shuli: "You're the one with the bad idea! I just wanted Dad to think that I had just moved out of the dorm too, and that the trunk was full of my packed luggage. When I get out of the car, Dad will see my luggage in the car, and I'll casually tell him about the kidnapping. Then I'll pretend that I couldn't stay in the dorm anymore and went to stay with Jiang Jianian for a while. That way, he won't know the truth that I moved out of the dorm a long time ago and have been living with Jiang Jianian."
Ji Shuli looked at the message sent by Ye Zhiwei: ...
After a long pause, he edited his reply: "But little cousin, don't you think your acting is too obvious? This is the first time I've ever seen someone pick someone up at a highway exit. You're such a clever little devil."
